3 Postal Workers Charged in Sex Attack on Co-Worker After Party
The New York Times
The men dragged a woman into the back of a mail truck, where one tried to rape her, the Manhattan district attorney said.
Three male postal workers were charged with kidnapping a female co-worker whom they dragged into the back of a mail truck after a party at a Manhattan post office in 2023, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
One of the men was charged with attempted rape in the attack.
Police officers found the woman, who has not been publicly identified, and her attackers in the truck after they responded to a 911 call in June 2023, according to a statement from the office of Alvin L. Bragg Jr., the Manhattan district attorney.
Prosecutors said she had become incapacitated at the party and was “physically helpless” at the time of the attack.
“As alleged in this indictment, these three postal workers dragged their incapacitated colleague out of a post office and into a mail truck, where one attempted to rape her,” Mr. Bragg said in the statement. “We take investigations and prosecutions of sexual violence extremely seriously.”
The postal workers, Daniel Jean, 38, Kirt Acala, 38, and Edward Chou, 40, were all charged with a range of crimes, including kidnapping and kidnapping as a sexually motivated felony. Mr. Jean was additionally charged with attempted rape and forcible touching. All three men pleaded not guilty.
